is there a way to determine when a file was last copied and/or accessed on a
windows 2000 server? if so, is there a way to see where and by whom the
file was copied to on the network?

The command

dir /?

explains that you should type something like dir *.txt /tc to
see when the file was copied or last accessed. However,
Windows does not keep a log of who accessed a given file.
 
You can set up auditing on the file so that it will track who opens the file
and when, and exactly what they do with it. Auditing can tell you if it was
copied, or opened. Its not hard, just type auditing into wondows server2K
help.
